What do you think of this?

So I made this out of a felted sweater. It was gorgeous yarn and probably very expensive sweater but I got it for 99 cents and threw it in the wash. It shrank up really small and sturdy so I threw it in a pile for a few months and then pulled it out and made this basket. I folded the edge down and put some strapping band inside to make it hold it's shape and sewed it all together with wool yarn. Is it good or too lumpy?

I like it! It's amazing what you can do with a wool sweater that's been felted. When I think of the number of wool items I have accidentally shrunk then thrown out over the years I'm sad. If only I had known that I could have used them for crafting. Now I try to shrink wool items!
